Altho’ you live aloft so far, Transcendent Goddess, in your star, Pray, try to see us as we are.
Consider—and be more forgiving— Life is not reasoning but believing, And we must work to get our living.
Expound with logic most exact And rightly marshal every fact— D’you think we thank you for your act?
D’you think we’ve nothing else to do But to distinguish false from true?— We’re lawyers, doctors, parsons too.
